2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 2.4L MultiAir Gasoline Eninge

AEM Intake System
(AEM is a part of K&N)
This is a full system. Meaning that it runs the full length of the OEM system and utilizes a pod filter rather than the filter box.
A drop in filter replaces the OEM paper filter in the filter box.
A short ram intake is shorter than the OEM system.
And a cold air intake is piped out of the engine by into the fender well or front bumper.


Installing an intake system is pretty straight forward. I received my Renegade back with the intake system already installed. So this is an overview of the system installed and details you might want to pay attention to when installing a similar system.








Here is an overview of the stock system.

Here is a Youtube video of how it sounds.

As for the when it will be available to the public and the price... I don't know either. AEM/K&N should have these available soon once they produce a good batch. Keep checking their websites for listings.

Thanks for the info. Let us know if your MPG goes up, down or stays the same please.

I like it but worry about water if you are doing some serious water forwarding. Would love to see a kit with a snorkel.

Same here. You see the mud splashes already under the hood.

MPG went down like 3.

That mud was from puddles.

I've cross through a foot of water with the stock system and it can get messy under there. If your rolling through the water it should be fine. If you splash through it, you might be in trouble.

There are shields and socks out there that can help. I'm not too worried about it at the moment.

I have some questions about the Air Intake System...

Looks great!

1) Where did you obtain the system? I don't think they are for sale yet..

2) Any improvement in Low-Speed driveability?

3) Any change in MPG?

Thanks,
-Keith (A Renegade TH Owner)

If the MPG went down that much, what benefit is it, other than a little sound?

Most of these so called filter systems that claim more hp and this and that are gimmicks not to mention can wreak havoc with sensors on certain cars coming from caddys I know how many were blown due to people putting in k&n's CAI systems and didn't know that the factory system cooled certain sensors and just ask the guy on youtube who placed one in his brand new corvette went over a pothole with water in it theres no shield so the engine sucked up the water result? new engine not covered by warranty due to his mod I'm sure he enjoyed the extra sound it gave him

any improvement on the mpg?

So... why would someone do this?

Sounds good?

Sounds good?

pretty much same reason people buy cat backs they sound cool but its all nonsense about increased HP and this and that u have to change a lot more then the exhaust system to increase its performance to real world levels if even possible a lot engines have very little after market support for bolt on stuff and would require a custom job out of most peoples budgets

 

[Jerrah]

but whats the size of the cone filter, i dont wanna get the whole thing really just the filter and take the box off. thats what i normally do for my cars.

I agree with previous posts; You're replacing a fairly straight and unrestricted oem intake with the same intake. There's also plethora of info on how much dirt gets past those cotton gauze filters.

If I was interested in louder intake sound, I would cut more holes in the airbox.

That is not the MAF sensor. That is the IAT. As fas as I can discern, there is no MAF sensor. The new IAT position is also useless. It more than likely is reading engine bay temps and not intake air temp. The factory system actually pulls in colder air. That setup is pulling in heated air. Most definitely not a CAI.

So you spent a few hundred and lost 3 MPG and nothing else?

Get on youtube and watch some videos and read around on other forums. Really all you get is sound. I put a pod on my old 03' Tracker. Gave it a beefy sound but that's all I got. I checked my mileage every tank for 150,000 miles roughly until I sold it to get the money to make a downpayment on my TH. I got no gains in mpg. Many tests show you actually lose low end. You will gain some top end, but unless you're racing on the drag strip it does a daily driver no good. My two cents though. Everyone has opinions, I did do my homework and know from experience of putting these on my previous vehicle and few others that's it's not worth it. I'm staying O.E. on my TH. Think about this way, how much air can a dinky 2.4L four cylinder gulp? Anyways, here's a video from Mighty Car Mod. The guys are goofy, but worth the watch.
